Timeline: January 27, 2021

My conversation with Scoups, Joshua, and Jeonghan went longer than I thought—they asked me a lot of questions like how's my life right now in Seoul. When Joshua cracked a joke, I laughed to the fullest, which gained the attention of the other members. The other members also went to our spot and joined our conversation.

“Heyoung-ssi, are you older than us?” Dino asked. Now, all of them looked at me with curiosity and anticipation written in their eyes.

“What year liners do you guys have?” I asked them with a little chuckle. “Maybe I am within your year lines.”

Seungkwan coughed so that the attention would be on him

“Coups-hyung, Jeonghan-hyung, and Joshua-hyung were born in 1995.” Seungkwan said as he took a bite of his food.

“Jun, Woozi, Wonwoo, and I were born in 1996,” Hoshi said, partaking in stealing a pork cutlet from Mingyu.

“Mingyu, Minghao, and I were born in 1997,” Dk said, also stealing a pork cutlet from Mingyu.

“Seungkwan and Vernon are both the same, 1998,” Dino said while taking a sip from his drink. “While I'm in the 1999 liners, that makes me the youngest of the group.”

I paused for a while to think about waiting, I could feel the eyes of the boys. “Then, I'm a 95 liner,” I said, making the 95 linerscheerd. “And please, no need for formalities,” I added.

All of the younger members suddenly shouted, “NOONA!”

I laughed at them for their silly antics–the feeling of having 10 younger siblings makes me exhausted–having an older brother is more exhausting.

“Noona, if you are a 95 liner, then what is your birth month?” Dino, being the maknae, asked once again. Cute!

“Aigoo Dino-ahh, asking Heyoung, HAHAHHA.”

“YAH! Maknae-ahh, are you a matchmaker?”

“Dino-ahh, what are you doing?”

The 95 liners exclaimed, making the older members laugh and tease the maknae more.

“Aigoo, you're making me blush, Dino-aegi.” I teased, pretending to hide my face, making all members burst out in laughter.

Amid the moment, I could feel someone's gaze at me—I looked to my side and caught Scoups looking at me with an unreadable emotion written in his eyes.

Now, it's making me blush…

As time goes by, SEVENTEEN continued their practice. I helped Jaehyuk-oppa by giving out some water and running to their building's floors.

I continued to watch SEVENTEEN practice. While Jaehyuk-oppa is out running some errands for the upper management. I watched them bring out their fullest, even some members pulling out some silly moves just to hype up more energy.

I stepped out for a bit cause I needed to go to the bathroom. I passed by some hallways before going to the bathroom, even managing to greet some idols, too.

Stepping inside the cubicle, I heard the bathroom door open and two employees entered loudly.

“I think we need another member for the production team.”

“Jaehyuk-ssi did recommend someone for our team.”

As soon as they mentioned that, I stepped out from the cubicle, making them stop from furthering their conversation. I went to the sink to wash my hands, looking up to see them looking back at me.

I smiled at them as I carefully washed my hands. “Maybe that person will accept that offer,” I said as I exited the bathroom.

Walking back to the practice room felt like my energy was drained from how loud the music was blasting. I entered the room with a semi-smile, and the boys still continued their practice, while Jaehyuk-oppa went to me.

“Heyoung, let's get you home.” He said as he carried my bag on his right shoulder. I nodded at him and bid our farewell to everyone.

I look at them once again, especially at Scoups–he looks at me with a tired smile on his face.

Don't give me that look…

“Hyung, bring us food again!”“Be safe!”“Bye, Heyoung-noona!”
